What is the best strategy for traffic

    I am a fan of doing blogs. I have quite a lot and I don't really have anything to make money off of them. They are just for fun. But, my question is this, There are many people who have thousands of people that go to a blog. How do they do this? How can I generate a lot of traffic to my blogs? It may sound kind of dumb but I was just wondering on the different strategies.

    Another question I had was how do you make money writing blogs? Is is through Clickbank or is it through AdSense? I am still fairly new at marketing that is why I ask. Appreciate any help on the matter.:D

    Keep writing...

    Tell friends, relatives, co-workers, etc., that you started a blog and ask them to visit. Tell them to tell other friends and so on.

    Start visiting other blogs and leave comments.

    Start commenting more ofthen on forums that you are a member of.

    Thanks Bigtime! Do you know of any ways to actually make money off blogging. I have read a little on it but can't really seem to get any money out of it.

    Some people hire out their blogging skills to others.

    Make specific blogs for specific products/services, sign up as an affiliate for each of them and promote them. You can write reviews, you can post special deals, play around with this idea and see what works well for you

    Just pick something that interests you and start writing about it. Start writing your opinions on the topic and keep promoting it. Once you start having visitors, and more than just a few, then you put up a few ads, Google AdSense for example.

    I think the quickest way is adword. Other than that is SEO, work on your backlinks,site submission,article submission.

    Yeah, I still don't understand how to do the Adsence thing yet. The question is what is the Budget per day mean? Does Adsense cost money? I am confused. Right now I have two blog niches. Politics and Celebrities and Grind my gears blog where I complain of things that make me upset. But I just don't understand the adsense budget. Anyone have experience with Adsense?

    Start studying SEO - it's by far the best place to start.

    Whatever else you do, your knowledge of SEO will be invaluable.

    AdSense is free, you just post a code on your site, thats given to you by Google, and you watch the money come in.

    Enter your site into the major search engines for free. I'll just post one for now and more later. Since I'm new and rated as a "peon" I need to build up my numbers here. This is the address for free entry in MSN bling search engine. I can not post direct links yet.

    When ever you can, add tag words that are relevant to your site. It's what the search engines pick up on.
